What Are The Outstanding Problems In The Quality And Industrial Structure Of Domestic Cotton?

Shortly after the start of the year, a

The decline of cotton quality has aggravated the depression of cotton textile enterprises.

This data from China's Bureau of inspection and quarantine showed that as of mid October, the weighted length index of cotton has been reduced by 1mm, 27mm and below accounted for 59%, compared with last year, the quality of Xinjiang cotton fell seriously.

Therefore, the head of the textile enterprises in the mainland is coming from behind, and there is no sense of cotton available.

This situation makes people unable to calm down.

The quality of domestic cotton can not meet the demand. It has been downstream cotton for many years.

A heart of business.

Especially in recent years, foreign low cost and low cost pure cotton yarn has entered a large market in China, which has a great impact on the domestic low count yarn market. Our cotton textile enterprises further enhance the grade of pure cotton yarn so as to avoid the Red Sea competing with foreign low-cost yarns.

However, China's cotton market simply can not support the demand for continuous upgrading of product grades. The contradiction between the low quality of domestic cotton and the increasing demand for high-grade cotton is becoming increasingly prominent.

It is understood that our country is not short of cotton, but the lack of high-quality cotton that can meet the requirements of textile enterprises.

According to statistics, the annual cotton consumption in China is about 7 million tons.

China Cotton Association predicts that China's cotton production will be 5 million 860 thousand tons in 2015/2016, while the quota of China's imported cotton is 894 thousand tons, plus the current reserve cotton resources of about 11 million tons. 2015/2016's cotton resources will still exceed supply in China.

Textile enterprises generally reflect that domestic cotton processing enterprises and cotton textile enterprises are seriously out of touch, and the quality of domestic cotton reserves can not meet the requirements of cotton use by enterprises, plus the deviation of policy level, resulting in the current situation of "good cotton shortage and bad cotton flooding".

In recent years, with the increasing proportion of high-end products in the cotton textile industry, the demand for high-quality lint is also more intense.

In order to find high-quality cotton materials that can be matched with high-end products, many cotton textile enterprises continue to increase procurement of global cotton.

However, due to the limitation of cotton quotas, cotton textile enterprises' demand for high-grade cotton is also not satisfied.

Regarding this, Wang Tiankai, President of the China Federation of textile industry, said that the quality and structure of cotton were unreasonable, which had seriously threatened the development of China's cotton textile industry, and the domestic cotton industry structure needed to be adjusted.

At present, the relevant departments have recognized the importance of improving cotton quality. The 3 year cotton temporary purchase and storage policy and the implementation of cotton direct subsidy policy are very clear about this point. Cotton production areas such as Xinjiang are also trying to improve cotton quality in many ways.

However, some people in the industry say that the concept of "light weight" in cotton planting is not changing overnight, and many years of stubborn diseases need to be solved fundamentally.

So, what are the outstanding problems in the quality and industrial structure of domestic cotton? What is the process of improving the quality of Xinjiang cotton? How should cotton futures play a better role in stabilizing the market? To solve these problems, to make the cotton resources truly allocated by the market is the first step for China's cotton industry chain to enter a virtuous circle, and also the foundation for China's textile manufacturing industry to maintain market competitiveness, achieve industrial upgrading and build a strong textile nation.
